1139 Hancock Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221
The three-unit, two-story building at 1139 Hancock Street in Bushwick, owned by Saint Jean Germain, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years.
Most notably, there are ongoing open violations as of 2024 related to waste management systems, including a broken connection at the waste-line pipe from the sewer main trap to the building front curb, and the presence of wastewater seepage in the southwest cellar area. The building has also been cited repeatedly for failing to file the required annual bedbug report between 2021 and 2024, representing a pattern of non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.
In late 2022, the property faced multiple safety-related complaints regarding missing or broken window guards, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations related to these complaints. While the building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2013, 2022, 2024, and most recently in 2025, the ongoing open violations regarding sewer infrastructure and bedbug report compliance, combined with the history of safety equipment issues, suggest persistent maintenance challenges.
